The over umpiring is frustrating. The reverse against Sylvia was a joke. Franklin was laughing as they are good mates. But the amount of times they ducked there head and got the free kick. THen we lay 3 or 4 good tackles for no reward then 30 seconds later on the wing Garland was tackled and ofcourse holding the ball. Also when Davey put the hands in the back and the mess up the umpires had massively penalised the Hawks.

This team of absolute [censored], have had the wood over us for years. Not just because they are supremely talented, but also because they treat us with such contempt and we let them. They know they c

I don't buy the leg excuse. McKenzie has had about 2 weeks of pre- season and was on the bottom of every bloody pack. You either want to go hard, or you don't. Sadly, Davey is the only player in ou

OK I missed the first 20 minutes but it's clear as weird as the NAB Cup is, it's true in one sense - the umpiring stinks!

Davey tackled high a la Sewell - ahhh but you play for a bottom side, my son, no free

Jamar tries to protect his position in a ruck contest...let's give it to the Dawks

Buddy slams Sylvia, Sylvia responds...well let's reverse the first free paid to Melbourne for 20 minutes

Watts dispossesses Cheney close to goal...play on see above.

Howe still looks good, Dunne looks like he has a future

David Hale is crap yet he destroys us every time. I hate Hawthorn but don't know if we will ever beat them.

Hale is far from Crap, he had a very productive season last year...pity we couldn't snare him at the time...Tried real hard.

I know David King rates himself a genius special comments man; but as a boundary rider, part of his role is to find out the extent of players' injuries. I haven't heard a thing about Magner from him at all. Not good enough, IMO.

Not an excuse for a professional team....the players had nothing to do with it at all.

The Saints are another hopeless club i don't want to be compared to them at all...I know it is the NAB Cup, but our coaching staff have got a lot of work to do..

As has been the case for decades...when serious pressure is applied to this club we submit to it, Northey was the only one to almost eradicate it...& even he couldn't...

Will be fascinating to follow what Neeld & Craig do in the following weeks.

A Mod on a power trip..... now there's something new.

Aren't we allowed any opinions anymore?

Yes, I'm on a power trip - that's why I've been deleting and editing your posts, and banning you etc. Oh wait - I haven't done any of that. I always get a great belly laugh when people accuse me of being a power tripper - no clue whatsoever.

I'm just in a bad mood, really.

Yes, you're allowed your opinion, and guess what? I'm allowed to dismiss it, just as the same as any other poster on this site.

Seriously, I'm not that drunk but are we being raped by the umpires or what? Sure, we are ordinary, but there seems to be 2 different rules for two sides....

woeful.

P.s: the long, hurried kick is NOT a game plan.

88 marks to 30 says plenty too, they have had over 100 possessions more than us.

although hawks do have a game plan of lots of short kicks and we now have a game plan of kicking long

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
